UPDATE: You might not have looked closely at the logos at the end of the trailer, but Anne Thompson reports that the new company Apparition has picked up the film for distribution. That’s how you’ll see it (or not) on October 30. Please, spend a few moments considering that the same company is releasing this, Black Dynamite and new movies from Jane Campion and Terrence Malick.

Boondock Saints director Troy Duffy held a live videocast answering fan and website questions yesterday about Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, which just wrapped production.

Read more about the plot in our previous posting. Watch Julie answer some questions in the video blog after the jump, and check out the southern accent she will be using in the film. Thanks to /Film reader Christopher M for the tip.
